Month of August Goals

Ok, folks... The month of July was bar-none the hardest flippin' month of my life. Alright, I've been through worse, of course, but this is so fresh on my mind that it feels all the more difficult. You know how bad/good things happen in threes? Well, that has been the case for me. I won't bore you with the goary details but, for all intents and purposes, let's just say that the things that happened weren't good. Anyway, because of this, my month of July goals didn't pan out very well. Sigh!

I will review them quickly, though.

Beta a couple books I beta'd one friend's book. That's good, huh?

Start reading Beyonders: Seeds of Rebellion by
Brandon Mull Uh... I had no desire to read for the life of me. Super sad, huh?

Continue exercising three days a weekI did fulfill this part of my goals. Woot Woot!

Only have one treat a week on Fridays Did I say that I had a really tough month? Well, that should tell you how I did on this goal. haha

Start the first draft of BOUND's sequel. I so can't wait No work done here. Shoot. I did have to do another edit on my first book, though. When will the insanity end?

Anyway, my month of August goals are going to be pretty light. I need a break, my friends. If I don't relax a bit, I might end up in a white padded room with a straight jacket on.

So, here are some simple goals:

Move on August 18 and get settled into my new place

Read Beyonders: Seeds of Rebellion by Brandon Mull

Edit a bit of my own works

Enjoy me some Netflix and time with loved ones

Beta a tweeps book if she needs my help

Have you ever had a month where you wonder what's the next thing that's going to go wrong? How do you get through tough times? I do a great deal of praying, talking to family and friends, and trying not to eat too many sweets. Two weeks ago, I even got out of dodge to spend some time with a some good friends as well as my mom.

Anyway, dear followers, thanks for stopping by. And what are your month of August goals?

I don't like July anymore. Well, I can say that for June as well cuz that's when all the drama started. Shakes head. Anyway, I hope you are getting over the insane July too. And great wishes for a wonderful August for you too!

Well, you've seen my goals for this month...we'll see how well or not I do by September. But keep in mind you can't predict what life is going to throw at you. At least you have set goals that will help you going in the right direction. Have a great August and high five on the exercise!!
